Halloween in June??? That’s right – because this is your chance to design a Halloween Pet which will be sold in Ganz eStore in the fall. To enter first choose one of six templates provided below: Cat, Snake, Bat, Owl, Rat/Mouse or Frog. Then let your imagination run wild as you create your ghostly masterpiece. When you’re done you upload your final product to the Share Center.
The winner will receive a virtual version of their winning entry, a brand new Pet Design Trophy plus a 1 Year Deluxe Membership. The nine runners-up will receive a 1 Month Deluxe Membership.
The contest runs from June 1-30, 2016 and the winner will be announced on July 15.

So what are you waiting for? Download the templates and get started! We’re looking forward to see what you come up with!
This is really cool! I was wondering though, should we write the name of the pet on there? Or will the name be decided by someone else?
oh, rad ! its always nice to flex out character design muscles !!
Yay! I must enter this… the last few pet design contests I kinda procrastinated on and didn’t enter at all… finally, my chance! XD
I am very happy that computer software can’t be used this time around. It will make it so fun to see what people can do with simple art supplies! :)
Wow, I’ve never entered one of these contests before, but I already have some ideas for the bat and cat!:) Lol, those both rhyme!;) Does anyone know what they plan on dressing as for Halloween? I plan on going as supergirl or a girl version of the flash!:D
Hey balletbear5M! Hm… I actually haven’t thought of that…. I’m not sure if I’ll be going this year or not, yet (haven’t really thought of it), but, I did go as a warrior cat last year
Hi TaffyKitty12, sorry this is a late response, I posted one earlier, but it never moderated, I know my dad already thinks I’m to old to go trick or treating, but my mom takespecially me anyway!:) I only thought of supergirl and the flash because they are my two favorite super heroes! I also watch their shoes, have you seen them?:)
Maybe… just maybe. Hmm….. XD
Very exited for another pet design contest…I will be entering, for sure.
Hmmm…pretty cool. I must admit, though, I don’t really like Halloween, except for on Webkinz, and I don’t celebrate it, either. Although, I guess this contest looks pretty fun. I’ll consider entering.
Same here, RosyFox. My family are Christians, so we don’t really celebrate Halloween…I do like it on webkinz though, so I may enter this contest…
Yeah same. I don’t like it but I like it on Webkinz. I like the candy and the fact you can be creative with the costumes but I don’t like the evil witchy stuff.
Yeah, me too, Rosyfox. I don’t like halloween, it always seems like the evil guys win in the end with it. XP
I kinda celebrate it…bI pretty much only do trick or treating.. Well.. I used to.. I’m a little too old now… And eat candy but eh, that’s it…. I hope it’s not bad that I do that considering I’m a Christian… I mean, I don’t like the creepy, weird parts of Halloween, no, just the treats and playing on Webkinz….
Whoops… Didn’t mean to put “bI”.. I meant to put just an “i”. Sorry!
i dont like haloween…. and Taffy, its fine! :)
That’s perfectly fine, Taffy! Dressing up and eating candy is pretty fun. I just don’t like when they make evil win over good at Halloween, that’s all :P
Thanks Fennnec and ChristianCowgirl! :) I pretty much only care for the treats and dressing up like my favorite characters. Otherwise… Eh…. I’m not a huge fan. I don’t care for the creepy stuff one bit. And yeah, same here! I don’t like that, either.
TOTALLY AGREED TAFFY!
It’s alright, TaffyKitty, I’m the same way. :) I like the candy and dressing up, but I DON’T like anything else about it really. I’ve actually never been trick or treating before, but I would always make my stuffed animals go trick or treating, heheh. Fun times….they have something at our church though, called “trunk or treat” where people from our church decorate their cars, and all the kids dress up and go around and get candy, hehe. :)
I do the same, I only trick or treat! I’m also a Christian so although I celebrate Halloween, I don’t actually “believe” in Halloween, do any of you know what I mean?:)
Yes, balletbear, I totally know what you mean! By the way, I love your username, since I’m a dancer, too. ;)
Yeah, I know what you mean, balletbear5M! :)
Yeah, I was hoping I explained it ok!;) Aww, thanks!:) What kind of dance do you do? I just take ballet!:)
Yeah ilovemoonie, I was hoping I explained it ok!;)
I’m so excited about this contest! It’s ok, Taffy, I also celebrate Halloween! I’m personally not a fan of the super creepy stuff, but I like the sort of classy, subtle scary, you know, like those raven decorations and fun signs and simple stuff! Nothing too weird… I basically just love dressing up and candy and stuff! I occasionally still go trick or treating, (which probably everyone thinks I’m too old for that, but, you know what, why waste away the rest of my childhood just cuz other people say I’m too old?) ;) That was a great way to explain it, balletbear! Lots of people nowadays don’t “believe in it,” they just do it for fun. Oh, and balletbear, I love the flash, but I haven’t seen the supergirl tv show yet! As a rule, I like marvel better, but the flash is also one of my favorite super heroes! I don’t know who I’m going to go as this year… a couple years ago I went as Elsa, but since my hair is brown, I got this “great” idea to get colored hairspray to color my hair platinum blonde… It looked terrible! ilovemoonie, the church that hosts the homeschool co-op I go to does trunk-or-treating too! I’ve gone occasionally so I could be with my friends! Anyway, I’m so happy about this contest!
I would enter, but there are two deterrents: one, I like computer software rather than printing out templates. Two, the Share Center has not been allowing me to enter any new pictures lately. Files won’t come up, as long as they are new as of a certain date, or at least that’s what it seems. Probably not entering, but maybe if the Share Center decides to work.
Hmm, it seems that my comment got deleted. It USED to be here. But anyways, =P I’m not a big fan of Halloween either. I’m a Christian too! =) I like going out to get candy and dress-up, but the evil, witchy stuff, doesn’t quite go with my character. =) I usually dress-up as a bunny. =)
I don’t think any of you knew, but this contest is actually the reason why I joined Ganz World. Well not exactly. I mean that the other contest (The Design a Webkinz Day Pet contest for 2015) and this one, made me wanna get a GW account. I didn’t it win on that one or post any comments. But I have been on the newz before WITHOUT a Ganz World account. =) So that’s the whole reason why. I know I’m posting this comment VERY late. I posted another one in June, but I think that it got deleted. Anyways, have a fantastic day!
Whoa, this sounds so cool! Good luck to everyone who enters! I can’t wait to see who will win. :D
Cool! Gosh, I didn’t even think of Halloween… It seems so far away… But hey, I’ll accept any design a pet contest! Hopefully I’ll remember to enter, heheh…. Anyhow, I wish everyone who’s entering the best of luck :)
